It is clear that the main reason that leads to the extinction of orangutans is deforestation . Humans are cutting down trees for palm oil plantation , building new industrial area , new houses and so on . However , they din't realize that all this causes the orangutans to lose their habitats and suffer from extinction . Even if they do know this will lead to the destruction of this population , they would care less bout them . This is because they have no awareness about the dangers orangutans are facing .Therefore , we should create awareness in humans that we should not destroy the forest due to our selfishness .
However , we believe that it is hard to change mindsets especially adults . Therefore , we have to start from the younger generation . We have to plant the idea of deforestation is bad to the children . We have to let them know that the orangutans are suffering due to loss of habitat- the forests . Children are simple , they just hope for the good and the best for others .
Furthermore , not only children should learn to protect this endangered species but adults as well . We have to save this creatures for the future generation . We don't wish to hear someday when our children or grandchildren asking 'what is orangutan ?' , 'do they exists ?' , 'why is there no orangutans ? how come i never see any ?' . It will be a pain to tell that orangutans extinct because of humans are selfish and not willing to save them . As they are not like dinosaurs which extinct because of the sudden changes of the climate .Our children or grandchildren might think that we are to blame for the extinction of this endangered species which cause them never have a chance to look at the orangutans .
This is why we have to save them so that the future generation have the chance to know orangutans better .

If nothing is done to protect orangutans, they could be extinct in just a few years.
